Abstract

Today, we see a strong demand for real-time information, with a rapid growth of m-learning. We also see that there are many educational resources on the Internet. Learning objects (LOs) are designed as a means of reusing these resources. Most of these LOs are built for e-learning systems based on desktop computers, which prevents their use on mobile devices. A LO is an area that is open to research and has a lot of potential in the creation, adaptation and production of learning content. There are standards that describe LOs in general as IEEE LOM, SCORM. Semantic web and its associated technologies are increasingly used in electronic document editing while separating the content from the presentation. Creating a LO with the semantic web is complex and raises difficulties because of the editing tools that require general knowledge of XML syntax and related technologies. In this paper, the authors propose a new OWL2XSLO approach based on ontologies (OWL) allowing the generation of XML-Schemas LOs. They then derive a semantic LO web editor based on OWL2XSLO approach for the generation of a content type enabling the editing of interactive LOs with XML technology and which can then be integrated into LMS and adapted to the mobile display.

Highlights

  • In recent years, m-learning has been boosted by the continued development of new information and communication technologies, which have become essential elements in education [1].The design and development of teaching materials adapted to mobile devices may present difficulties for researchers and educators [2]

  • The OWL2XSLO approach can be used in all areas including notably education m-learning, provided that ontology is available for this area

  • Once the ontology is created for a university to the description of domain knowledge of the course for example, it is possible to refer the terms used in this ontology in the XML instance documents to automatically generate the XML-schema

Summary

INTRODUCTION

M-learning has been boosted by the continued development of new information and communication technologies, which have become essential elements in education [1]. Educational content is numerous and consists of various types of media such as video, audio and presentations Some of these LOs [4] are designed for fixed computers, which prevents their use on mobile devices. The ontology approach can present the LOs, content structures and learning path that are corresponding to the learning environment of each individual [10] It can dynamically generate personalized hypertext relations powered by reasoning mechanisms over distributed RDF annotations [11]. There are not really any editing tools that allow the creation of the basic LO adapted to the specific needs of the course designers by using the semantic web and from this the generation of the adaptive presentation to the display of mobile devices. The what? (What LO) and the how? (How the LO content will be represented)
